NOOOO IT ENDED 😢😢 BUT ITS BEEN A FUN RIDE WITH MY FAV STUDIO BTW.

i really hope they will make at least 15 - 20 eps for season 2.

also, they nailed jiji's face expression though

oh hell naw they won't, second season started producing early this year, if you want quality is better to stay at the 12 ep standard

i loved the anime but the ending was not so satisfying, i mean they didn't even gave the context correctly ' what is going to happen next and that's the part of this anime was not so good but overall it was 10/10 i really loved the intro, plot and also the story....

Damn. After such a bizarre but strong start this show really devolved into a typical romcom with triangle tropes on repeat. It's just wrapped in this visually beautiful layer of supernatural and alien "bizarreness" that feels wasted on the generic plot. It left me feeling more disappointed than anything else. :(

Not completely unrelated, but I also found it a little weird that the author is so persistent in putting Momo in compromising situations/positions over and over even though the humor and general vibe both seem to be on the childish side.

The art is good. That much I can say. Respect to the artists and animators that endure near-slave labor to bring it all together. I get the feeling that this is yet another example of a "parent company" belligerently wielding an animation studio like a kid wielding a gun. A tragic misuse of talent that's becoming common and damaging to the medium as a whole. Ugh, capital rots everything from the inside, even people.

They hyped things up only to leave it unfinished. They could've at least finished this arc before ending the season. Disappointed.

Yeah, it's a 7/10 show for the first cour. Expecting it to be better in the second cour, but not particularly hyped.

Would have received a 4 if it wasn’t for that ending. I don’t understand why they keep doing this to Momo, what is the point of having a female MC if you’re just going to subject her to horrors that a male MC wouldn’t have to face? The only other MC who experiences this much sexual assault is probably Denji. Lordddddd…..

Asides that, which completely soured the entire season for me, I honestly loved every bit of Dandadan. The romance is the driving factor of this show, and seeing Okarun come closer and closer to acknowledging his feelings is so satisfying. Beyond thrilled to see what happens with Jiji as well, as it’s pretty clear he’s got something ominous going on.

Oh yeah the classic ending in a cliffhanger, and a quite anticlimatic one jeez.

7/10 overall. It's a common Battle Shounen with horny jokes and some romantic elements.

They made the end of the season in the middle of this Jiji arc, already can't wait for the next season/part. Easily the best animated show of this season.

6/10. This is mid, mid, mid.

You know the MAL user score doesn’t mean anything when, according to the general user, we get a "masterpiece" or two every season (ranking in the top 100 score-wise).

You can’t even pretend this anime isn’t equivalent to fast-food —sex for the sake of sex, fighting for the sake of fighting, truly iPad kid’s anime of choice. What’s the overarching story? If your answer is "for the dude to find his balls," then, well, you played yourself. There is no story.

Uhhhh wtf? LMAO they're really going to end the season like that? It feels bit incomplete no? I almost feel like this isn't the end of the season and there's supposed to be another episode before this ends, but I guess not... This kinda suck lol but oh well, looking forward to see what happens 7 months from now. I can see why people might be a bit upset with how this ended

Overall though, great show! Easily one of the best shows of 2024. This year didn't feel that great at least to me. I think I would give this an 8 or a 9

The ending sort of dropped it from a 9 to an 8 for me. ideally Id go 7.5 but you guys dont have that rating and its been a better show for me than a 7 so Imma give it an 8 since it has been really entertaining for me all season. The highlight of the season was for sure the acrobatic silky episode. That was a tear jerker and probably the best 25 minutes of content id seen all year aside from the Frieren vs clone Frieren episode. They then followed that up with the best action episode of the season against the aliens and ゴジラ(nessie) fight WOW.

That said....I think it must be made known thst I am NOT ok with sexualizing a 15 year old, no matter what medium....Momo getting sexually assaulted not once but TWICE and her getting choked under water naked...never understood the need for those scenes and how they were made to come across

Little bit disappointed eh show after all the hype it has gotten. It has a strong start but decline he’s a little bit for each of the last 5 episodes. Ending was an abrupt cliffhanger that didn’t make much sense. Definitely needed an episode 13

wtf was that cliff hanger. Didn't feel like the end of a season, more so felt like it wasn't just interrupted mid season but mid episode.

Defo a good season, rated it high but ending of this season was a wtf moment.

Wait... Thats it? There is no episode 13?
"Cliffhanger" I don't think is the right term. - I mean it is a cliffhanger, but if I were to press stop in right the middle of a movie, and say "That is the end of the movie! tune in to the sequel!" Would that be described as a "Cliffhanger"? or did I just cut off the movie arbitrarily?

This just feels like they planned to make a 24 episode anime but something caused them to only be able to release 12 episodes. (Something like they couldn't get a good TV time slot for the Winter/Spring seasons, - because TV viewership is still an important thing in Japan)
I am 90% certain, unless something goes completely wrong with production, the transition to Season 2 will be completely seamless, and if you are binge watching in the future you'd never know there was a 6 month gap between episodes.

seriously, they ended up season 1 with this kind of cliffhanger? if I known this I should've watched to episode 11 and watch episode 12 when season 2 start airing.

the townsfolk Okarun see when they arrived and when they attack Momo didn't really give ghost vibes, I feels like it more of a Alien vibes. but what Okarun and Jiji encounter in the house is the actual ghosty vibes. am I right?
not a manga reader, but I'm fine with a little spoiler.

and I think Momo made 1 small mistake, she should've ask Aira's help too, it's better manpower though

So, the season didn’t have a closure haha. Jiji is also in love with Momo, such a rival for Okarun. The extra room should be related with Jiji’s spirit. In general it was a good anime, some episodic episodes, ironically, but some strong episodes and good character development.

I came into this anime with zero expectations knowing it was toilet literature and got my preconceived notions confrimed. Crazy how EP7 was the only good episode from this anime and that happens in a narrative and thematic vacuum; this was basically Chainsaw Man but stripped of any underlying substance behind the vulgar ADHD humour that that story tried to tell. Dandadan really felt like an anitwit anime. Not the most overhyped anime of the year (that's still Frieren), but this is close. Even Re:Zero was more palatable from this season.

God you are just so unique and mysterious with your differing anime tastes! I hope you get the attention you’re seeking!

Lmao that's the scene they are ending off with? Insane move tbh. I know the second season/cour is coming, but I'd be annoyed if I hadn't already read the manga. They did a fantastic job with this series in general though. It was so much fun.

Your deduction of the townsfolk is pretty close (not quite completely right)

Similar as well with Okarun and Jijis, you’d have to wait for next season :)

Well, here is one of the best of the year completed. The animation is very, very good, the use of colors is very interesting, and I like it. There are also 3d effects. The direction is good as well, and the characters is very funny. One of the best of the year.

Watching the dub (which is actually really good), I absolutely got got by that "deez nutz," LMAO

Still, that's an odd place to end. Felt more like a penultimate episode, rather than the last of the season. Well, a season 2's already been announced, so that'll get resolved soon enough.
